to join other hemisphere leaders in welcoming an overthrown, democratically elected president back to his homeland? A president who was toppled in a civico/military coup that was tolerted by the Obama administration.

For those not aware of this news, Zelaya supporters are expected to turn out in the scores of thousands tomorrow when Zelaya arrives around noon at the Tocantin International Airport. Police and army troops have been told to stay away to avoid confrontations.

Zelaya is returning despite death threats against him. Yesterday he said he was not afraid of the danger and his adversaries.
